Wouldn't think so if NetBSD can talk to it; I suspect the hardware is just fine and this is a software problem. ISTR that some Ultrabooken either needed specific drivers or a specific release of Solaris. I don't remember if this is the case for your specific model, though.

It's a pretty machine, and the display and CPU are great (if I were in the market for an Intel Mac, which for reasons previously discussed, I'm not). But I dislike AIOs because I rarely upgrade everything simultaneously, and for a system at that price point, I'd like to see more expandability than &...

Atleast the Alpha, MIPS and SPARC aren't affected by this foolishness. Not sure if you mean Spectre or Meltdown, but at least some MIPS and SPARC designs are affected by Spectre. Meltdown, no. However, Raptor CS has gone out and said it: POWER8 and POWER9 was patched for Meltdown ; see also https:/...

The A-series chip in the iPad Pro is actually getting into the low performance range for Intel designs -- I'd say it's even competitive with, though clearly does not eclipse, i3 -- but I think we have a long way before there are Apple ARMbooks. When Apple moved from 68K to PowerPC, the 601 ran rings...

Talos is absolutely a no go with such high price. For that amount of money I can build a Xeon monster Go for it. Just don't complain in 10 years when your only choice is Intel no matter how much you pay. That's a depressing and bleak dystopian future. :( Arm seems to be doing well ;) many more syst...
